Description
In INVERTING THE PYRAMID, Jonathan Wilson pulls apart the finer details of the world's game, tracing the global history of tactics, from modern pioneers right back to the beginning when chaos reigned. Along the way, he looks at the lives of great players and thinkers who shaped the sport and probes why the English, in particular, have 'proved themselves unwilling to grapple with the abstract'. This fifth-anniversary edition of a football modern classic has been fully updated to include an investigation of the modern-day Barcelona and how their style of play developed from Total Football, which itself was an evolution of the Scottish passing game invented by Queens Park and taken on by Tottenham in the 1930s. It also analyses different styles in the early British game and the changing mentality of South American football in the 1970s, as well as looking at the birth of the 3-5-2 system so prevalent today.

Delicious stuff
There's a reason why Jonathan Wilson is renowned in the world of football writing and this work of genius reflects that in its entirety. Taking the reader through the ages with regard to football tactics isn't the easiest thing to do but Wilson's sheer genius lies in being able to make it all comprehensible to anyone who understands the sport.

THE definitive football book
Jonathan Wilson polarizes opinion. There are those that believe that Wilson is so obsessed with the tactical, and indeed scientific, aspect of football that he often misses out on its romance of the beautiful game. Another criticism is that this book has given rise to a new generation of armchair "critics", tossing around terms like "Regista" and "Trequartista" with a smugness that makes you want to punch them in the face.
However, what cannot be denied is that this is perhaps the finest tr...

Brilliant, Readable AND Scholarly - Masterful Writing!
If football tactics have seemed confusing and overthought - if you think that your average pundit is saying the most unreasonable stuff, if you feel that moving pins around a green board isn't of any point - read this book. Part history, Part story, Jonathan Wilson takes you on a sensational journey through time and ages. Football intertwines with culture, society and history in this book as you see why teams play the way they do - Why are England so rigid? What's good about the Germans? Why ...

A Book for every Football Fanatic
I got the book for something over Rs.500. And being a mad about football tactics, Jonathan Wilson's writing didn't disappoint me at all.
Informative and Very very interesting. The details of the pre 1900 era gave an idea about how the rules bought in the game
As far as delivery of the book is concerned, it as on time- 5/5 for that.
An overall 5/5. Do give it a read.
